The pepper grinding course/fine adjustment screw never stays in position and the entire top of the pepper mill falls off during use. Surprisingly, the pepper mill comes only one-third filled with peppercorns. The satin finish absorbs oil from your hands and feels greasy after a short time. Even worse, after a short time the mating surface between the removable top half and the base gets a coating of fine pepper and when the top is turned, the pepper mill emits a load squeal.

I am very unsatisfied with this product.

The salt mill, too, does not come completely filled with coarse sea salt and the grinding adjustment screw never holds firmly in place.

This product is a hybrid between old and new.
It is an age old design that never falls from fashion and above all else it is a purely functional item.

You may find that the adjustments are very finneky but it will provide delightful and flavorful pepper and salt for all meals.

These mills will last forever and will upgrade any kitchen. I bought mine in France and love them to death. They are as great on the table as in the kitchen. You will not be disappointed.

Happy eats.

Peugeot is the only brand of salt an pepper mills that I would consider purchasing for personal use or as a gift. The only improvement that I would like to see is to be able to purchase new hardware (grinding heads) as they do eventually wear out.

This set is the perfect, classic set of salt and pepper mills. The matte chocolate finish has the richness of dark, stained wood without the glare of shiny glaze. The top of each one has a small "S" or "P" on the top screw so you know which is which. The only negative is (like all mills) a bit of the pepper or salt falls out onto the counter or table every time you put it down. Still, a fabulous, high-quality set for all upscale kitchens.

I wanted a salt grinder and pepper mill, and finding a matching set like this one is very hard to do. Both work as expected, although the caps have a tendency thus far to "unscrew themselves" a little during grinding. Every so often I have to re-tighten, otherwise they would eventually fall off.

It's good style, good function and a good price.
